Minesweeper is the classic logic puzzle of clearing a grid without detonating a hidden mine. Each revealed number tells you how many mines touch that square, and you use those clues to deduce where the mines are. Flag the dangerous squares and clear the rest to win.
How to use the Minesweeper
- Pick a difficulty — Easy (9x9, 10 mines) or Medium (12x12, 30 mines).
- Click or tap a square to reveal it; the first click is always safe.
- Use the numbers to deduce mine locations, and turn on Flag mode to mark them.
- Reveal every safe square to win — hitting a mine ends the game.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you play Minesweeper?
- Reveal squares to uncover numbers that show how many mines are adjacent. Use that information to work out which squares are safe and which hide mines, then clear all the safe squares.
- Is the first click always safe?
- Yes. The mines are placed after your first click and never on that square, so you can always open the board without an instant loss.
- What do the numbers mean?
- A number is the count of mines in the up-to-eight squares surrounding it. A blank square has zero adjacent mines and automatically opens its neighbors.
- How do I flag a mine?
- Switch on Flag mode and tap a square to mark it, or use right-click on desktop. Flags help you keep track of suspected mines so you don't click them by accident.
